New Year's Resolutions

So here we are at New Years again. I have carefully looked at myself and what I need to do and come up with a few resolutions:
1. Loose some weight- Make an appointment for liposuction
2. Keep a clean house- Call to have "Merry Maids" come in
3. Be more organized- Hire a "Personal Assistant" (I read about these in the paper, I guess they are the "new rage")

Hmmm... that doesn't seem so bad... :-)
Do you make new years resolutions?

Best free entertainment

What is better than having a great time and it's FREE??
(Well... almost free except for the new sleds we had to buy and new ski jackets and snow pants for Brad and I, and another pair of snow pants for Elise... but the that doesn't count)
The day after Christmas we went sledding. It was awesome!! However one of our inflatable snow tubes had a hole in it, so we were kindof 1 sled short. Do you think I can find a sled in this town?
I have posted a video of Ethan from our trip. This is at the new Wanoga sno-park about 30min. from Bend. The snow was awesome... up to my thighs in some places, and even after arriving around 2pm we were still able to forge our own path in the powder. The lay of the hill allows for some natural jumps which is pretty cool. There is also a huge firepit to warm yourself and more importantly his and hers outhouses!



Have you been sledding this year yet?

Post Christmas Blues?

After Christmas it is always kindof a let down (although it is a bit of a relief to not be able to do anything more... well, except for my Christmas cards, which will now be my Happy New Year cards). Abby asked me a couple hours after the whole opening presents thing was over? "What can I do now?" What??
Do you suffer from post Christmas blues?

They're here!

I am so excited that the Merry Mint Patties are finally here! I could sit and eat a whole box, I will eat them in a house, I will eat them with a mouse, I will eat them in a box, I will eat them with a fox, I love to eat them when they freeze, I will eat them when I please, I will eat them here or there... I will eat them anywhere.

If you haven't tried these you MUST! My sister manages to buy a bunch during the Christmas season when they are available and rations them accordingly throughout the year. Yeah right!! I have eaten all mine before Christmas and then they aren't available anymore! My sister has also made the fudge recipe on the box which she says is delicious, and I have intended to make the fudge every year, but the cookies keep disappearing!

What is your favorite seasonal treat?
